Overall, I enjoyed this story but I did not read the previous stories in this series and felt I was missing out a bit on Jane's back story. Definitely a fan of the steam and the hot air balloon ride!! I want to reread the whole series and think I would enjoy this one a bit more after that!

I listened to the audio version of this one, and for whatever reason, I had trouble connecting with the characters. Maybe I just got tired of hearing about how "no one would take Thomas seriously because he's so handsome." And Jane, who kept saying she wasn't looking for marriage, when the book basically starts out by saying she's been in love with Thomas since she was a young girl. He can't marry her - she's too poor for what he needs - but he also can't keep his hands off of her.

Readers who like their books to steam will probably enjoy this one. I'll give other books in the series a try, but this wasn't a favorite for me.

Megan Frampton can write no wrong in my humble opinion. This book was sexy, fun, and had that whitey Frampton humor I just adore! I love this trope where the H needs the h's dowery and needs to marry asap! Clueless in love just gives me the all the feels!

This was a fun romp that I was able to read in a single afternoon. Frampton plays with tropes delightfully in this 4 addition to her series. While not quite as strong of an entry as the previous book, it was still quite enjoyable and a great way to spend the afternoon. If one needs a light read and historical is your yum, this is a solid pick.

Whew! This one was steamy! I didn't realize this one was part of a series, so I definitely need to go back and catch up. Loved Thomas.

I really enjoyed Thomas and Jane's story. We were introduced to Jane in the previous story in the series and I loved that fact that she went against the grain and moved in with her half brother. I also like that while Thomas needed to marry for money, he also wanted to find someone that he could enjoy the rest of his life with. It was just a matter of time until her met his perfect match!

There's nothing really groundbreaking about a titled man searching for an heiress to prop up his dwindling fortune. Or in a woman helping him look for a bride and then they accidentally fall for each other. Still, Megan Frampton brings her unique voice to this somewhat tired trope and makes it a lovely read. The chemistry between Jane and Thomas is DELICIOUS and makes up for any lack of originality in some of the plot points.

In Gentleman Seeks Bride, a sex deal is struck between Lady Jane Capel, the impoverished heroine, and handsome Thomas Sharpe, who is search of a wealthy bride. As they spend more time together in growing intimacy, the two realize they are destined to be together.

So good so good. Fortune hunter looking for a bride to save his family falls for his best friends sister!!! I am fairly new to this author but I truly enjoyed the story.

Thomas is a fun loving character and a life was going very well until the day he found out that his father has lost the family fortune. Now he finds he has to save his family by selling himself to a heiress which doesn’t sit well with him.When he runs into his best friends sister at a club she should not be at, she tells him she only wants to make her own decisions pertaining to her own life. They strike up a bargain as Thomas feels obligated to protect his best friends sister from harm or ruin. Both know this is temporary and are determined not to fall in love, but sometimes the best laid plans do not always happen.

At times I felt the story seemed to move slower than I like, but over all this is a entertaining read. I received this book for an honest review.

Really enjoyed this book ..Regency era always brings a smile to my face..Cute h and redeemed H ..a novel I'd def recc ! With some steamy goodness

This was definitely an interesting book… But I found that it didn’t really hold my attention. In fact, I don’t think I could tell you what happened in it even now… Which is unfortunate as the concept was very interesting for me!

Megan Frampton knows how to write high heat romance. This series keeps getting better with each book.

An incredibly sexy and sensuous love story!!
I haven't read any of Megan Frampton's books before but I certainly will after reading this, I loved her lively and energetic writing, it pulls you into the story and speeds you along. The characters are likeable and engaging, I was fully immersed into their stories from the first page, I liked the fast pacing, it felt perfectly in intune with the story. The romance is off the charts hot, it sizzles and simmers and was fully satsysging. A great read!!

It seems like there are so many "kissing lessons" books out now, and I'm not complaining! I adore that trope, but they have to be unique to keep my attention. I really like Frampton's writing style, but this one felt too similar to several other books I've read recently. Thus, it won't be a favorite, but was still fun to read.

This one started out great, I was hooked! Then around the middle everything sort of fizzled out. If you're looking for a low angst romance, then you'll love this! To me, it just felt a little boring. I wanted something to come along and shake things up. I loved Thomas and Jane and their banter was fun. I'm a sucker for good banter. It's well written and I did enjoy watching the couple come together.

Overall, a middle of the road read that I did enjoy for the most part.

I liked this book but struggled a bit. It did not feel as though the relationship was as developed as Ms. Frampton generally did with her characters.

The 2nd book in this series Tall, Duke and Dangerous, was one of my favorite books of 2021. Looking forward to the next book in this series!

I am a big fan of Romance books and I found this one to be a very enjoyable read. I will be looking for more books from this author.

I’ll be honest: I had this one on my TBR already and then a 1-star review about how much sex there was in it made it jump immediately to the top of my pile. And this one was fun, not super heavy or overly dramatic either. The friends to lovers conceit was really nice, paired with the “I’m going to give you lessons in the bedroom” element (although I’m realizing that I’m starting to want to shift away from heroines who don’t know at least the clinical names of intimate body parts in histroms, which isn’t a knock against the novel but more a revelation on my own personal preferences). I didn’t even mind the neatly tied-up ending; overall this was a great, diverting escape of a read.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

How could a book about an agreement for lessons in debauchery be so dull? Maybe it is the completely unlikeable characters? See, Jane and Thomas are just too beautiful. It's exhausting being so better looking than everyone else. An inner monologue has Jane reflecting that she is so perfect, maybe she should cultivate a flaw? The trouble is, she can't think of one. Thomas is a remarkable lover, as he reminds the reader many, many, many times. He's the most charming man in London, why won't anyone marry him? After her broken engagement, Jane has been disowned by her parents so she moves in with her half-brother. She's tired of being the boring good-girl and makes an agreement with Thomas to show her all she's missing in exchange for helping him to find a wealthy bride. Thomas's family is broke and they are depending on him to marry money to support them. What are the two most gorgeous but poor people in the world to do? Do you care?
